When I recently did my sale, I looked around at various websites to find places where I could promote.  Imagine my surprise when I found a number of places insisted that the "bargain price" for a book had to be no more than $2.99. At that moment I paused and thought to myself, "Wait a minute, that's the regular asking price for one of my e-books.  Are you telling me I've been offering my book at a 'bargain price' this whole time?"  Now, taking a step back for a moment, let me explain how I've priced my books. Number 1 - I'm still a newbie in the book world.  I don't have a huge following. Number 2 - I had gotten the impression that lower prices would help promote sales. Number 3 - I've been down a path where finances are tight for the last seven years, so I'm rather sympathetic to people having a hard time.  So I try not to price my books out of people's reach. Now both my books weigh in at over 100,000 words a p...

Good News...  My $0.99 Cent sale is over. Now the Bad News: I'm still going to talk about it today....     Now don't panic, the sale is over and done with and I won't be promoting it today.  Instead I'd like to share some insights and the results with you all and get some feedback.   First off, how well did a week-long sale like this do?  Well all together I sold 15 copies, 10 of "THE SHIP", and 5 of "THE BRIDGE".  How do I feel about that?   It wasn't bad to be honest, but I'm not sure an entire week was necessary.  Almost 2/3rd's of the sales happened on the weekend when I first announced the sale.  For most of the week itself, there were only one or two days where anything happened.  Then when I announced this last weekend that the sale was coming to an end, there another 4-5 copies sold.  So quite frankly, doing an entire week-long sale didn't yield all that much for my efforts. Where did I publicize the sal...
